Paul’s ECO E- Bike Tours endeavour to provide the utmost safety on all his tours.

The Tour Operator is committed to providing a safe environment for participants taking advantage of the connected Cycle Way and Duel Footpath System with limited use of the roads.

Participants will be provided with a quality tour, free from danger by observing the Western Australian Road Rules as it applies to all road users.

The Tour Operator and Participants will be required to use the Road system where Cycle Paths are not connected therefore road crossings will be necessary at all major intersections.

Road Rules will need to be observed on all roads and intersection crossings.

Paul’s ECO Bike Tours offers four tour routes with an average distance of about 40km. All tours offer an interpretation of the Geological formations of the Swan Coastal Plain and an insight into the many varieties of Plants and Animals.

All Tours have plenty of opportunities to stop for some refreshments. Also, there are some great beaches to check out on our Coastal Strip, so swimming or snorkelling is an option for those really hot days. All swimming is however restricted to Royal Life Saving Patrolled beaches and undertaken at your own risk.

From 1996 to 1998 Paul studied at Edith Cowan University for a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Management, completing the Degree in 1998. After finishing University Paul took up casual positions in a number of organizations, one was Environmental Encounters, doing adventure recreation activities which involved walking trips, canoeing trips and some adventure mountain bike riding.
